About

The Winston Hybrid PV and BESS project is a proposed 306 MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage system development in Kern County, California. The project consists of a 204 MW solar photovoltaic array coupled with a 102 MW battery energy storage system. It is located within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) region and is interconnected to the PG&E utility grid at the Midway 115 kV point of interconnection.

The project, identified as CAISO-1751 in the CAISO interconnection queue, entered the queue on April 15, 2020, and has a proposed commercial operation date of December 10, 2028. The Interconnection Agreement (IA) for the project has been executed. The project has appeared in recent news coverage.

Development Risk

Realization risk from now to commercial operation — financing close, EPC and tax-equity counterparty mix, and COD probability vs the proposed date. The diligence view that determines whether the deal actually closes. Powered by InfraSure's development-stage modeling stack.
